Automated Obsidian Task Roundup
Every morning, WebRun opens your Obsidian vault, searches every note for unticked checkbox tasks, records each one with its source note and any due date written beside it, logs them in Airtable, and posts the day's list to your Microsoft Teams channel.
How do I collect all the to-dos scattered across my notes?
WebRun searches your Obsidian vault every morning for unticked checkbox tasks, capturing each with its source note and any due date. It logs them in Airtable, marks tasks you have since ticked as done, and posts the day's list to Microsoft Teams with overdue items first.
- Tasks buried in meeting notes surface the next morning
- Overdue items lead the list instead of hiding mid-vault
- Ticking a box in the vault clears the Airtable row automatically

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it change my notes?
No. WebRun reads the vault and never ticks a box, edits a line, renames a note, or deletes anything. Your notes stay exactly as you wrote them, and the only writing happens in your own Airtable base.
What happens when I tick a task off in Obsidian?
The next morning's run sees it is ticked and marks the matching Airtable row as done, so the list shrinks on its own without you updating two places.
Can it ignore parts of the vault?
Yes. Archive folders and any folder you name are skipped, so old meeting notes and reference material do not flood the list with tasks nobody is doing.
